The card label says "2 port RS-232 SUNIX Plug Into A Brand-new World S/N: CB 0077996 Made in Taiwan" XMMS before freezing plays last 300ms 3 times again. dmesg shows pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 pccard: card ejected from slot 0 MCE: The hardware reports a non fatal, correctable incident occurred on CPU 0. Bank 0: b200004000000800 Is the kernel intended to behave this way? If yes, is there a way how to configure up the kernel so the computer doesn't freeze and the card can be examined with lspci? CL<
